Mixed Middles Flower!

Well happy Friday to you all, I bet you are all glad that it is Friday...today I had a bit of a pamper day, spent the day having my hair cut, eyes done and also sneaked in a little shopping too...so nice not having to rush my days! I think that would have to be the best part about holidays.

Seeing as last night I shared a Purple Onion Designs card, I thought seeing as I was on a roll I would share another one tonight, this time using the Mixed Middles Flower stamp set.

Stamping this stamp onto several pieces of Basic Grey Pattern Paper, trimming out each section of the flower, adhering the flower head using foam dimensionals. Stamping the flower again onto more pattern paper that had been trimmed and sewn around the edge, then paper piecing the flower. Adding a sentiment from the Home Grown stamp set and adhering the paper to a trimmed Kraft card that had the front embossed with a PTI, Woodgrain Impression Plate.

I just love how these new stamps can be a fantastic way to use up your scrap pieces of patterned paper.

I hope you all had a little giggle over the picture of the cute dog that I shared here last night and thought, heck, why not share another one for a giggle tonight, here is another one I found over at Pinterest.


Doesn't this photo crack you up!!! I am quite sure this is what I look like at the end of some days! LOL, hope you enjoy the laugh.

Okay, need to go now and let my Roly boy in for the night, he is looking at me through the french doors with that sad puppy face..LOL.

Have a wonderful night!

Hugs
